Toddler stickers

Has anyone found stickers that 2.5 YO can independently pull off??? I’d love my girl to just play independently but because stickers being so damn tough I have to constantly peel them off for her. Some are even difficult for me to peel 😑 Surely there must be stickers designed for toddlers somewhere??

Shoes/socks?!

My 11month old is walking. Do you recommend I buy some trainers? Walking shoes or those shoe socks? Please help. He wants to be walking outside in the park etc so don’t just want him barefoot or in regular socks.

Activities for toddlers on Mondays

I'm looking for activities/play sessions on Mondays in Croydon for my little boy. He's recently turned 3. He is on the autistic spectrum, loves outdoors, having the freedom to run around, explore different things (so maybe not something which requires sitting and focusing for too long.) Oh and ideally something 10am...

Bored baby

I know by age my daughter is too young to use her activity center, so.. how are you guys entertaining your baby? This girl gets so bored and done with me. I can't wait for her to use her activity center in a few months. Anything I do, she only likes it for a few minutes. And she's been fighting her naps during the d...

Is there any restrictions in going on a Ferry like Hull-Rotterdam for example or cruise whilst pregnant, are there any rules? Do you have to be at a certain pregnancy stage?

Hand guiding

My LO wants to hold my hand and take me into different rooms with him all day long. He will not be in a room by himself unless he is watching tv. Is there anyone else’s kid like this? Or anyone have any tips to make him more confident

How far away would you vacation alone with a toddler?

I want to travel with just my daughter and I (she's 3.5) but not sure if firstly, it's a good idea, and secondly, how far would be a good idea. She's been on planes before but not a road trip drive

What does your 18m old play with?

I’ve been concerned about my LO’s learning pace so I had a speech therapy evaluation at my home. One of the many things she mentioned is that he doesn’t have enough age appropriate toys. As a ftm I’ve been beating myself up about it. I had no idea. What are your toddlers playing with at home?
